if kobes dunks looked more difficult because he wasn't as high of a flyer as others. he was an above average athlete of course but couldnt fly like MJ and Vince, not as quick or fast as D-Wade.

he is not touching vince in any way shape or form. i'd also like to add i think vince is one of the more underrated players in general. he wasn't just a dunker. really nice handle, beautiful shooting stroke, could score at every level, and clutch AF . its a shame he never got to be on a contender in his prime.

That’s cuz they don’t have anything but lazy passive hate against Kobe. Vince is the only one who’s in the tier as Kobe for in game dunks. nikkas in here mentioning Amare and Blake Griffin, it’s pathetic.

You ask heads to post proof while yourself not posting this alleged Blake dunk.

Youre doing too much.

Well, yeah sure he had fancy dunks but whatever.

A real GOAT would've found a way team up with Duncan, AI and McGrady in their primes to manufacture winning.

:umad:


You're supposedly a Kobe fan, but you're so obsessed with LeBron that you tried to derail a pure Kobe thread 5 comments in and make it a LeBron thread? :dahell:

To me there's too much individuality in in-game dunks to label any one guy as the greatest.


Shaq for absolute destroy the rim and everything around it violence.

Kemp, Blake, LeBron, and Russ for that same sort of violence but coming from the perimeter.

Drexler, McGrady and Vince for gorgeous athletic air.

MJ, Kobe, Richardson, for their body control.

Ask yourself the reverse question, Has Kobe done some of the crazy in game dunks that VC pulled off? Just because other dunkers haven’t done a Kobe dunk don’t necessarily mean they couldn’t so that’s not really a good barometer to judge best in game dunker of all time. VC gets the nod cause of his vertical leap+creativity+variety. I’ve never seen anyone do MJs double cradle dunk in game but I don’t think he’s the best in game dunker

Yall keep proving my points. None of them as difficult and hard as whats in the OP
:mjlol:

if you think so then thats fine
Breh at this point you’re penalizing dunkers for having more hops and power than Kobe. Maybe his dunks wouldn’t have to be so difficult if he could do what some of the other guys mentioned in this thread could do.

People have already shown you, it's Vince. Vince has two of the nastiest in game dunks ever. His dunk on Alonzo Mourning and his dunk jumping OVER the 7 footer. Kobe has a similar dunk to the Alonzo when he baptized Dwight Howard, but no one else in NBA history has a dunk jumping OVER a 7 footer.

Giannis jumped over somebody before but it was a little dude on the Knicks.

Lmao. you still aint answer the question in the OP bruh.
I'm not sure what's in the OP even qualifies as a question that wouldn't have gotten red marks from any English teacher...

Vince is gonna be widely considered the best no matter what criteria for difficulty of a dunk one could come up with ...jumping off one foot, sweatiness of the basketball, brightness of the arena lights, length of the average defender's fingers...who cares VC is probably the GOAT of dunking
